I wonder if Klopp will start Darwin against Fulham. Im so excited to see how he develops and yes there will be games he will struggle but looking at the striker market it is an absolute drought of lack of talents out there. Sub standard players if they can kick a ball straight are going for 20mill minimum smh.

Be interesting to see which way he starts that is for sure.
Brilliant to see Jota probably being back within a few weeks. You're going to need every last resource you have this year I feel. This will be a real slog of endurance and then some.
Not sure it will take over 90 points this year either with the way the season is all messed up. I think you beast the first block up to the November shutdown and try get as big a lead as possible from the first 16 games. Then reassess and see where you are squad wise after the scandalous WC for the second half. The absolutely farcical, worst season in English football history non-football COVID season of 2020-21 was bad enough. But this one, at least from an endurance POV, is going to test squads to the limit.
Bobby's close to being next on the extension slate apparently too which would be more top work from Ward in his stellar first summer fling solo.

Should of signed the real Lukaku 
He is pure chaos with excellent movement and I love it. You can tell he is raw but man once he polishes up he will be an absolute ******* livewire. Cant even call him Lukaku because at least he works hard lmao.Should of signed the real Lukaku
Really dissapointed overall as so many in the side just thought turning up was enough. Better to get the rust out the system early on and get shocked. However, I will say there was a 15 min period when we increased the tempo Fulham could not live with us until Mitrovic decided to go for a swim.

Mane would of scored the 4 chances he had today
Swim? The man was dribling past the myth and legend himself.
He might have went down easy, but VVD was reckless there.

Yep peno all day long and very poor from VVD. Very unusual mistake by his standards but Mitrovic stitched him like a kipper.
More concerning is the injury to Thiago
agree you cant dangle a leg there but I am the first to hate the concept of the modern pen. I have seen our attackers win the same kind of penalties before. Its a contact sport and it was not enough of a challenge for Mitrovic who is built like a brickhouse to go down.

Football hasn't been a contact sport in years.
It's for poser's and lads wanting to become their own 'brand'.

Well that was a really good day in the sun out bar the actual game of togger that was *****.
Today's admin-
As utterly mad as it now is, the average points to win the PL over the last 5-years has been 95. Such has been the other-Wordly standards City and L’pool have raised the bar to. And the average wins from the last 5 PL winning seasons is 30.
So, for the purpose of this, the season's win target is again 30. And the points target 95.
Title Countdown:
0 wins down/ 30 to go.
1 point down/ 94 to go.
Current unbeaten PL run:
P 20 W 16 D 4 F 45 A 12 CS: 11.
Fair F's to Fulham. They thoroughly deserved everything they got and more today as they worked their collective backsides off for 90 minutes. When they were going down with cramps late on, I don't believe they were unduly time waisting to see out an outstanding opening day point for themselves. They were literally goosed and seizing up. So hard had they run and chased on a gorgeously hot day in the capital. I doubt they'll have much better days all season long so massive kudos to them for more than deserving a huge and unexpected point on opening day.
L'pool just weren't at the races at all from back to front. You could make a case for Harvey having an excellent cameo when he came on. (Side note- Mad how the Fulham fans roundly applauded Carvalho but have a serious level of animosity toward Harvey.
). Mo was Mo. Milner's experience was the perfect sub at the perfect time to calm things down and wrestle control back for our best spell of the game. And Darwin continues his blistering start. That's 4 times I've seen him live now. Twice last season for Benfica against us. Twice in the opening two games of this season. And you can see why they've laid out what they have. He's got every trait to be one of the best pure #9's going for the next decade under our guidance. Absolutely everything you want to be a beast of a CF who's going to be an absolute super star here. Superb start to his L'pool career. Everyone else was pretty P poor. But if you can't be on it, at the VERY least, go home with a point. Which they did. Again.
So all-in-all, after such a poor overall performance, you have to be proper made up in context to come away with a point to get the league season up and running. As some lads on the opposite table on the train home pertinently said, we are proper spoiled as Liverpool fans with this team to be remotely upset at not winning a game of football. And when you look at the current unbeaten PL run of now 20 straight games and counting, that just hammers that home.
So a frustrating start to the league season but I've seen my team lift the first silverware of the season and start without a defeat in the league over the past 8 days. So it would be churlish to nark at them 2 games in.
A few side observations-
The 'Nuinez! Nunez! Nunez!' chant sounds uncannily like 'Munich! Munich! Munich!' when its sung en masse. So Old Trafford should be even more fun than usual two-weeks on Monday when that's doubtless completely misunderstood.
Why in the World have Fulham started segregating seats in the Putney End? They've never done that before. And it's made even madder by the fact that it's the only ground you go in together through the same turnstiles with, along with Brentford, the friendliest set of supporters in the entire league. Don't get that waste of taking seats and leaving them empty at all?
Two-together rail cards are the way forward. Can't believe i've never invested in one before now.
Come on West Ham tomorrow in disrupting the only other team we have an interest in, start to the season!
Up the frustrated but just getting started Reds!
